I have recently been contacted by a great granddaughter of Harry Mawbey, a member of the Victorian Mawbeys branch of the family, and a son of its founder, Henry Mawbey.who told me he had won the Master's Cup in Melbourne in 1868.
The horse he was riding was called Canary.
I am very grateful to her for bringing her great grandfather to my attention and for giving me these photos to use on my Mawbey Family Australia family history blog.
